A narcologist spoke about the most harmful and the most "healthy" alcoholic drinks.
Alcoholic beverages, regardless of their type, have a harmful effect on the liver, especially when consumed frequently or in large doses.
However, there is an opinion that rum is one of the least harmful strong drinks, said psychiatrist-narcologist, head of the narcological and psychiatric clinic of Dr. Isaev Ruslan Isaev, to Gazeta.Ru .
Rum contains elements such as zinc, potassium, and phosphorus . These may make its effects on the liver less damaging than other drinks. This makes it a relatively safe choice among spirits.
Traditionally consumed with salt and lemon, tequila provides the body with sodium and vitamin C, which can help reduce the severity of a hangover.
Cognac, which is often stored for a long time, can contain a large number of harmful substances, which makes it one of the most dangerous strong drinks for the liver.
Vodka is somewhere in the middle of the list of strong drinks. It can cause a severe hangover, but its effect on the liver depends on the quality of the product.
Beer and cocktails are a category of their own. Due to the common misconception that beer is low in alcohol, people often drink it in large quantities, which is bad for the liver.
The composition of cocktails may be unknown, which increases the risk of harmful effects.
It is important to remember that there is no alcohol that is absolutely safe for your health and liver. Ethyl alcohol entering the body is processed by the liver, which leads to the formation of toxic acetaldehyde.
Long-term alcohol use can cause serious liver diseases, including hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis.
